Evaluation

Posted on by Hugo

Hello lovely attendees, sponsors, speakers and volunteers,

It would be lovely if you could fill in the Attendee Survey, which can be found here. This will help us make decisions for years to come regarding improvements and and small changes that need to be made in order to make our camp as successful as possible for the future. We are currently working on wrapping up the budget and all the small things that need attention before we can lay down our roles as organisers.

As lead organiser I would very much like to send out a warm thank you for attending and part taking in WordCamp Manchester, the community has always made this camp a special one to be involved with and without your attendance and help this would not be possible.

Please do let us know if you have written a blog entry or something about our WordCamp we would very much appreciate being able to read and also include a link to them in our final blog entry wrapping up our camp. Just a reminder the Attendee Survey is your opportunity to let us know how we did, please do bear in mind we are all volunteers who run these events.

Thank you again for coming!!!
